How Medsynthea solves Primary Care in Tennessee
Primary care billing complexity stems from preventive vs acute visit distinction: when a patient presents for an Annual Wellness Visit (G0438/G0439) but also has a new acute problem addressed the same day, modifier 25 must be appended to the E&M code or the sick visit claim is automatically bundled and denied. Medsynthea's CODE agent tracks preventive vs acute visit combinations per patient per day and automatically applies modifier 25 with supporting MDM documentation.
